My name is Jami. I am a wife of a U.S. Army soldier and a mom to a wonderful 6 yr. old. I do web design and graphic art, but I used to be a nurse.

In order to relax as a nurse, I developed a hunger...no, a desire...no, an ADDICTION...to Oregon Chai Tea!!! This addiction of mine has been with me for about 6 years or so.

I am making a wish for the apartment manager where I live. We are in desperate need of playground equipment for both little kids and for the bigger kids. If anyone knows anyone that can sponsor this, please help. Any donations would be great too.

What would you do if your friends house caught on fire and ruined her chances to goto her senior prom? Obviously you would look for heroes! Please read this wish and do what you can to help. It doesn't even have to be only financial help either. Somewhere there's a hero who has a pair of Prada shoes that they don't  wear anymore. Somewhere there's another hero who has a Dolce & Gabbana dress that they can lend out. Who knows, maybe there's a celebrity out there with a full wardrobe. We're talking to you Ali Larter from the TV Show Heroes. Especially since you graduated from the same high school. Heroes and Wish Ambassadors to the resuce!

UPDATE:
It looks like we don't need Ali Larter after all...the member heroes came through!

My 16 year old son was sent an invitation to go to the Presidential Inauguration this January 2009 (www.cylc.org/pyic/). I was given several fundraising ideas and am checking into a few of them and coming up with some of my own ideas. One of the things that was suggested was to send out letters to our state's representatives. In the information package that came in the mail, we were told not to do that :-( . Now for the wish part.

I would love to be able to take my husband to see the Phillies at a home game. He has given up drinking and his friends that drink for our family, but they were the ones he did sports with. He misses it horribly. Now he is working around the clock to make ends meet and has no money for anything but bills.

Wishing can be a complicated process. So to help some of the newer member (and a few of the older ones) we have revised and reorganized the Rules & Netiquette page. We have divided the rules up into four categories: Wish Netiquette, Rules For Wishing, Rules For Offering to Grant, and Technical Rules to easily answer common wishing and granting questions. If you have a question that is not answered directly on the Rules and Netiquette page please feel free to email us at admin@wishuponahero.com.

Hello everyone :)

After krystalynn2003 had ankle surgery and learned she was going to be hopping around on crutches for the next 6 weeks, she became depressed. Then to lose her apartment from not being able to work while trying to care for her 9 month old, she was down-right devestated. So she decided to start moving in a new confortable direction and posted a wish for Cructch Cozies. " I'd love some crutch cozies to make getting around easier for me," said krystalynn2003.  That's when Wish Ambassador Fanciegal decided to email and make a few calls. Within days, Crutch Cosies granted krystalynn2003's wish, giving some comfort to a weary mom. Thanks Fanciegal and Crutch Cosies for helping. Kyrstalynn2003 don't give up, heroes care.

I would like to ask for help with my computer payment which is due April 29 with an extension until May 1. I needed $150 to pay a month's installment. My computer costs $707, we paid $278 as downpayment and $150 for the first installment. I have two more months, but I am asking for even just one month. We will be moving to another province so my husband could start his church work there. If I can't pay this, the computer store might take my computer for temporary deposit until I can settle the balance. There's no way I can pay it.

Thank you for reading this. My Dad will be 90 yrs old in October. While out to dinner the other day, I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday this year; was there any place that he wanted to go. His answer caught me by surprise. He got a kind of glazed look on his face and said that he'd like to go back to Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. He said that he had the chance to go back there when they had the 50th Reunion. He said that he was sorry that he had not gone.

Great news! We have a new director taking over our Boy's and Girl's Club! They are going to try to keep it running despite the damage that the former Director Caused. Our kids DESPERATELY need this program, they really do. Alot of them have nobody to go home to after school.
